Nintendo Labo kits now ready for pre-order

Following their announcement last week, Nintendo’s Labo Kits for the Switch are now available for pre-order.

As a result, we now know how much the innovative modular cardboard kits which transform the Switch into various “Toy-Cons” will cost. The Toy-Con 1 Variety Kit, which lets you make RC Car, Fishing Rod, House, Motorbike and Piano Toy-Cons will set you back £59.99, while the Toy-Con 2 Robot Kit – which lets you build the accessories to turn yourself into a battle-robot – will cost £69.99.

In addition, Nintendo has unveiled an £8.99 Customisation Set, which encompasses tape rolls, stencils and stickers that can be used to customise your Toy-Cons once you have built them. Although given that the kits are made of cardboard, you could achieve much the same effect with coloured pens.
